Amalia Jonas, Michigan, usaMember Since March 2011Artist Statement At the beginning of the 1980s I moved to the United States. I lived in Las Vegas where I painted numerous portraits on commission of adults and children, also made murals for various restaurants.

In 2009 I moved to Michigan. Attracted and fascinated with nature and wildlife in this region, I began to paint wildlife and Outside Michigan.

The four seasons cause in me mixed feelings, and in the landscape a difference marked with colors, in Autumn, the reality surpasses the imagination of any artist and colors inundate us with sensations.

In the town of Rose City, Michigan I have exposed paintings done on wood that are part of the history of this region as they have belonged to barn’s, built in the 1800s and early 1900s ..

I have been commissioned by the Ogemaw Veterans Affair Museum located in Ogemaw County Fair in West Branch, Michigan to paint a portrair of the best Veteran of this year.

Wildlife is waiting for me in Michigan big neighborhood of forest, prairies and wetlands.

I put on my boots, bring my easel and head out the door. Is time to get wild and paint Michigan wildlife.
